was good sized three mastcl schooner, which
furled everything snug and apparently was in no
hurry to depart. When the wind came round to

course for regal is furnished ii. the bay in the
vicinity of Northport, and many fast yachts would
enter for the affair y fine could be arranged
and much interest awakened in the result The
Sea Breeze says further
| The fact is an annual sailing and rowing regatta
l
| things sure to come, and when it does come we
| shall wonder why we delayed so long, and there is
no reasonable reason why it may not be inaugur-

contestants to Pcnobscot bay yachts, = Belfast,
| Castinc, Islesboro, Camden, etc, make two
| classes, sloop and schooner rugged, AM. at the
same time have Il rowing regatta over the course
| between the wharf and Breezy Point.
And the initial contest need not require IA large
